Gandalfs toe removal surgery

This is my dog Gandalf
I have had him since I got him as a puppy in Steamboat Springs, Colorado 11 years ago.
Since then he has lived in NY and California and has been to 30+ states.

He has been my best friend an travel companion for all these years. 

Up until now I have been lucky that he has never had any health problems besides needing stitches. But last week Gandalf ripped out a toe nail and when it didn't heal I brought him to the vet.


The vet told me it was a tumor on his toe and I had to pay $500 for various xrays and blood work and two doctors to make sure the tumor isnt effecting anything else.

The good news is that it is just a tumor on his toe, the bad news is that he needs surgery to get the tumor and toe removed.

I need $3700 for a specialist to remove his toe. .    :(

Two months ago I drove my dogs from NY to CA for a job transfer, the move has been everything but easy and cheap.
At this point I just don't have an extra $800-$1500 So on top of selling a few of my things, I had some friends suggest I create a gofundme profile


After I get Gandalfs surgery I will be looking into getting insurance for him and my other two dogs so if somethine else like this were to happen I would be better prepared. But until then I need some help :(

Heres some extra photos of Gandalf and below them are some videos Gandalf and I have made over the years:
